As soon as Xu Sheng finished speaking, the sound of chopsticks falling echoed throughout the restaurant.
Mr. Xu, Mrs. Xu, Mr. Xu, and Mrs. Xu's hands trembled as they listened, and their chopsticks fell to the ground one after another.
“Oh, it might be a younger sister,” Xu Sheng corrected. “However, we would prefer a younger brother.”
I only want one daughter, Ningning.
Half a day later, everyone was back to normal.
"Really pregnant?"
Madam Xu spoke first, asking the question.
"Mmm!" Su Xincheng nodded, blushing.
It was the same when I visited the Xu family during my first pregnancy.
Back then, the shyness was a girl's bashfulness, but what I felt most was a sweet and happy feeling.
She dreamed of marrying the man she loved, having many children with him, and spending her old age with him.
In the end, after giving birth to Xu Bai and Su Ning, the two were forced to separate.
The shyness I feel now comes from thinking that my son and daughter are both so grown up, and my daughter is about to give birth, while I am pregnant.
She felt ashamed to even talk about it, but now that she was pregnant, she was incredibly excited.
She hopes this child will allow her and Xu Sheng to be parents properly and make up for all the guilt they felt in the past.
What is it?
No one answered, still in shock, until Xu Bai's voice came from the doorway.
Xu Bai found out as soon as Su Ning returned to the capital, and he was the one who went to the airport to pick up Su Ning and Gu Jingchen.
In the past few days, Su Ning was busy with Mu An'an and Chu Feng's affairs and didn't have a proper conversation.
He was in a meeting today, but when he heard that Su Ning was having dinner at the Xu family's old house, he rushed over. Before he even arrived, he heard someone inside talking about something.
"mom!"
Xu Bai saw that Su Xincheng was also there and greeted her happily.
Su Xincheng was very happy to see her son whom she hadn't seen for many days. She stood up to give him a hug, but Xu Sheng pulled her back to her seat.
"Be careful not to upset the baby!" Xu Sheng's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it happened to fall into Xu Bai's eyes.
"Pregnancy problems?" Xu Bai was shocked. He looked at Su Ning, who was heavily pregnant, next to Xu Sheng, and said, "Didn't I tell my sister not to disturb the pregnancy? What's wrong?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Su Xincheng, who was looking down in embarrassment, and immediately understood.
“You be the older brother, and I’ll be the older sister,” Su Ning said, taking over the conversation.
Xu Bai stared blankly at Su Xincheng, then his gaze fell on Xu Sheng's outstretched hand. "Dad, are you still alright?"
How old are you?! Can you still have children?
"Xu Bai!"
Xu Sheng was displeased by these words and rebuked them.
"No, Dad, you're amazing." Xu Bai changed his words and praised, then looked at Su Xincheng, "You two went to get your marriage certificate without saying a word, and not long after, you gave birth to a younger brother and sister for Ningning and me."
"No, they'll probably have several more in a row."
“No!” Su Xincheng replied.
When she found out she was pregnant, she was so conflicted that she even considered abortion.
How could I bear to part with it?
Besides, she wants to be a mother again.
"Hehe," Xu Bai said with a smile, "It would be good if you had more younger brothers and sisters."
It would be best if he had more younger brothers. With younger brothers, he wouldn't have to worry about the Xu family business anymore. He could run a small company outside like his older brothers. How wonderful that would be!
The better the Xu family's business develops, the greater the pressure on those in power; it's truly inhuman.
"Xu Bai".
Xu Bai's joy was short-lived. Xu Sheng looked at him and instructed, "Your mother is not in good health. I will spend time at home with her from now on. I will leave the company's affairs to you."
Xu Bai was heartbroken; no matter how many younger brothers he had, he still had to work.
